Girl Genius XXXII: The scientific method at work!

[Shining Wrath]

Note to Professor von Hautwyrm: even in Girl Genius, action economy is a thing. You just announced your intention to kill everyone in the room. If you are given the Iram Solis, there's no reason to believe you won't proceed to kill everyone. There's a lot of people in the room who can probably do something about that.

1. An actual dragon
2. A librarian-thief whose pet cat you are threatening
3. A rather capable monk
4. A spark with a fire wand
5. The probably lethal feline
6. Hector, who may finally realize that you're not on his side

The odds that none of them can do anything to disarm you, stun you, kill you, or send you to an alternate dimension to discuss morality with the Dreen is pretty low.

I expect Hautwyrm to be dead by Friday July 7th, our world.

EDIT: Worth mentioning was von Mekken's vow of protection for Franz when he left. Even if she gets out of this dungeon alive, the entire Jager army wants her dead. Agatha Heterodyne wants her dead. Someone is suffering from a too-high opinion of themselves.
